Do we need to reexamine the use of the term 'Failure'?","Description":"Our present education system is built around always finding the \u2018right\u2019 answer, but when can the wrong answer be valuable? How can we provide rich, meaningful opportunities for students to make mistakes, iterate, persevere and develop alternative approaches to problems relevant to what they are learning? In this session participants will engage in a team challenge, share stories of learning through failure, and co-develop some alternate language around what we really want to achieve when we discuss learning through failure.","Link":["http:\/\/pairadimes.davidtruss.com","http:\/\/inquiryhub.org"],"Audience":["Middle School"],"Practice":"My plan:\r\nShort intro.\r\n'The human string' challenge.\r\nAfter that size matters:) - How big the group is will help determine the tools we use...\r\nSharing session on learning through failure - group chat, table chat, or google doc\r\nPick one success through failure story to discuss as group or at tables - explore desired learning that you want 'from' failure.

I can rework this conversation around that rather than 'learning through failure'.
